Halloween Faces Paper Die Cuts with Martha Stewart Crafts

I have always loved to draw and
paint but I didn't really throw myself into it until after I had my first
son. I wanted to be a stay at home mom and at the same time be able
to decorate the new home we had just purchased. I taught myself how to
use power tools and began to build furniture which I would paint and sometimes
sell. What was once a hobby became a new part-time career which I
feel so blessed to be able to do.

Instructions

If a white pumpkin is desired, prepare pumpkin by basecoating Wedding Cake Satin. Allow to dry and reapply.

Prepare paper cut-outs by removing them from carrier sheet. If desired, cut excess background away using scissors or a craft knife.

Using a soft bristle decoupage brush, apply one even, smooth coat of Gloss Decoupage Finish to the surface.

Apply a second smooth, even application of decoupage finish to the backside of the paper cut-out.

Apply the decoupage paper to the surface positioning finish to finish. Press paper cut-out onto the surface, smoothing from the center towards the edges of the cut-out. This will remove trapped air pockets and excess decoupage finish. Wipe away excess finish with damp paper towel.

Continue adding paper cut-out to the surface until the entire decoupage design is achieved.

Once in place and smooth, allow to dry 2 hours.

When completely dry, brush a smooth application of decoupage finish over the entire surface being sure to seal all edges of the paper. Allow to dry 2 hours.

Brush a second coat of decoupage finish over the entire surface and allow to dry 2 hours. NOTE: If decoupage item will serve a purpose other than decorative only, a third top application of decoupage finish may be required.

Project surface should be cured prior to using. Air dry project for 21 days to cure.
